Only one complaint, after all of that time saving up your tokens, the drudgery of having to click through all of them is ridiculous. They really need to add an "Empty the Vault" button. They could easy fix this so instead of over 2000 clicks to get your stuff all you would need is 2.

I just started saving for this. Seems to be the best way to progress and get HP for someone who doesn't want to put any more money into the game. I've already dropped about $25 and that is more than enough for a puzzle game.

It is absolutely the way to go. It requires patience but the payoff is enormous. I got enough HP to open slots for every hero. Well every hero except most of the 1 stars. You really only need one 1 star hero. All of my 2 stars got championed and I was able to sell several and then recover them, getting all of the bonuses from their champion levels.

I agree. I'm in the 3->4* transition and have 79 or so on my roster. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Especially now with the 300 or so HP a month from the DDQ and whatever else you get from Shield resupply I'll be getting roster spots before then.

Pairing a 4 star StarLord with a 3 star Dr. Strange and 3 star Iron Fist is destroying PVE. Star Lord has great cost reducing ability that kicks in when opponents cast spells and his red power one shots most opponents and it's cheap to cast. He also gets you extra power points. His pink pumps his red attack and has two 3 turn tiles that damage when they count down. Dr Strange does his thing with his OP blue and brings the hurt whenever opponents cast as well. Iron Fist is just there as filler really, I could easily replace him but haven't looked into an alternative as he does have useful skills. Anyway if you havent been using 4 star Star Lord you should check him out, he is pretty badass.

Just an update on the 4 star Star Lord, 3 star Dr. Strange and 3 star Iron Fist. At first I thought Iron Fist was filler but I take that back, he rocks with this team. Star Lords cost reduction skill lowers the cost of his purple Iron Fist of Kun-lun to 3. This makes it ridiculously easy as once you get his black pumped he can do almost 5k of damage at a cost of 3 purple. This team is a PVE crusher.

I have eveyr 4* except Cloak and Dagger, just having gotten Sandman. I have six 5* slots unfilled. Roster sits at 120 at the moment, as I only have Spidey at the 1* level.

Just a tip for vault clears. When you do a Deadpool vault clear, you get a crap ton of 2* covers. Check what heroes covers you'll be getting and sell those heroes off before clearing. You will get most of those 2*s back to champions either post clear or shortly thereafter.

For those still playing get into the new spiderman challenge its fun and so far not too tough. Doc Oc can be a pain because bad tile placement can screw you but if you use BW Grey suit, when his nuke tile turns green, her pink power makes that easy to match. I use her with Fat Thor and OML and have been crushing those fights.

I've just started to work on a vault clear, and I do have a question: When it switches from sweet to savory, do all of the tokens go into the previous bucket? Example, I started down this path about a week ago, so I got 15 tokens into the Savory vault before it switched to Sweet. Now I have 15 tokens in my Savory stockpile, and six in the current "Sweet" vault. When it switches back, do those tokens all go into a "sweet" stockpile, or will I end up with two separate stockpiles? I'm a might confused...

Tomorrow is enough for a full for a Savory clear. Day 4 of the next Sweet rotation will fill me there.

Looking at the Savory vault, I have the full cover range on 4* Star Lord, and I am missing green on Ghost Rider, so I don't really need what would be my third red cover. I may wait until I get a better 4* mix.

I haven't been on here in a while and now I feel like an idiot. I've just been selling all the 2* covers I get and not selling off the 144 2*s I have instead. What a moron I am. Why didn't I think of that? UGH!

Anyone done the math/theory crafting on this?

I don't save my vault tokens outside of 10 I hold in reserve for no particular reason. Opening them daily is a nice little boost of gambling endorphins.

That said, I have so many tokens from all the various events that I don't even know how many I have. Hundreds, certainly. So if the math works out (which even a moment's thought on probability would seem to support) I guess I can start saving vault tokens, although that will make each day a little less fun, which is not easily dismissed. 300 days with no payoff until the end sounds like drudgery.

Still, I'd like to read a convincing argument to make myself feel better.

If it makes you feel better I did the exact same thing for a long time. You can see where I learned my lesson earlier in the thread.

I dont have the actual numbers but the simple answer is that the vault holds 300 prizes. Since there are far fewer prizes beyond the 2* covers, bits of iso and health packs, the odds are slim you will get those better value items. Since the vault resets often, those odds never improve for you. Save your tokens and those odds go from miniscule to 100% and you still get all of the small stuff too. The other bonus of saving up is you get a massive dump of 2* covers all at once which allows you to sell off max champion heroes and reacquire them as champions really fast. This results in a huge resource windfall. Suddenly you have no ISO issues and no slot issues either because you get so many hero points as well. I took a while to come to this realization and I regret that I didn't start saving sooner.

If gambling is your thing, I can understand the desire to roll away. Although, too be honest, I don't even know if all 300 slots in the vault are weighted equally when you draw. If they are weighted evenly then it's likely that there is an optimal number of tokens to save for that is less than 300 but still gives you good enough odds to make drawing worth it. If they are not weighted equally that only further supports saving.
I do have one caveat, when you are relatively new to the game and need 2* covers and resources, then what I have seen recommended is to save your tokens and draw when you have 20 of them. I haven't seen the math on that either but it's not a long wait if you play daily and it clearly improves your odds of getting something good, especially in the area of HP which is tougher to gather early, although the new DDQ reward of 10 hp lessens that early hp squeeze somewhat.

I've decided to pass for a better set. I've got an empty slot at the moment, so I'm not choking at the bit for the HP, I've got 600k ISO, so I don't need help there. I'm not fielding 4* teams yet, so there's plenty of room for growth and waiting for two cover colors I don't have yet.

OMW (5* wolverine) is a complete rock. He's the anchor that all my teams are attached to. Without him, things would be a lot less fun, probably. Or maybe I'd just use more of my roster. I can use pretty much anyone for any fight (pve stuff anyway) in the 3* range, and occasionally will even use 2*'s (although rare these days).

3-3-1 for me. His black is good but there are better things to spend black on sometimes. His most valuable attribute is healing for over 1k if both allies are alive, tanking a lot of colours and his match damage is extremely high too.

I have 1 or 2 other 5* in the same level range but they aren't 1/2 as valuable as he is.

For PVE I run a similar team of Star Lord, Iron Fist and Dr. Strange. With SL's cost reduction and massive attack, Dr S's freeze and power use punishment and IF's offense they are PVE crushers. IF's pink attack at 3 ap if SL's cost reduction is active, is crazy.
